These are the kids I want to work with and I can help sort of smooth their paths a little bit.

And, you know, I try to wear a lot of hats, therapy, intelligence testing, advocacy.

I give a lot of talks.

I get to do awesome podcasts like Debbie's podcast, which is like, yay for me.

Um so yeah, I mean, that's a short, dense version of what I do.

Intense would be a uh I think a pretty fair statement.

You know, it's it's so tough because, you know, psychology isn't really about

giving it answers.

It's not giving advice.

It's very much like reflection and giving space.

But I've never felt more drawn over the last year and a half.

to want to give an answer, right?

I mean I would love to tell kids, hey

you know, two months and this will be done, or here's how we survive this, or here's what we do.

And and we just don't know.

And I think that the strength of our routines, the strengths of our systems, we didn't realize how much we relied on them until they were taken away.

And you know, there's a mourning and a grieving process that comes with that in addition to the abject horror that we've been dealing with.

I mean, six hundred thousand of our citizens have died.

It's I said this in another podcast recently, but our brains are really good at dealing with

direct threat.
